    @BlizzardCS hello! I’m having two issues with overwatch! Some of my heroes are locked, and I’ve restarted many times, I bought coins and they haven’t showed up!

  • BoyFemcel Rice 🐬 🌸 (@BoyFemcel) reported

    Just thought to myself "I'm in a bad mood I should play overwatch to fix that" before realizing what I said and putting myself in a 5 year isolation period

  • RyokoPilled RyokoPilled (@RyokoPilled) reported

    one of the things that sucked about Overwatch was with smaller teams than TF2, dead weight was heavier so Blizzard decided to make this problem even worse by making the teams smaller amazing

  • _dxsiree_ desi (@_dxsiree_) reported

    i was literally playing w all the characters last night and now half of them are locked overwatch 2 is broken ash

  • Lunayian Luna (@Lunayian) reported

    I wish I could have a single day without Overwatch 2 having some kind of game breaking issue.

  • TheyCallMeDSP DSP Gets SPOOKY! (@TheyCallMeDSP) reported

    All, I have to change my schedule plans for the week. With Overwatch 2 again not working, which tanked my stream, I’m now again streaming Tuesday night: a make-up session for Sunday’s missed Bassmaster stream! This means no fishing this coming weekend so I can film Patron vids.

  • Dev_LabRatRM13 Snowbaron Dev 🔞 (@Dev_LabRatRM13) reported

    i might not play overwatch but even i can tell that with all the problems and bugs "2" has are a clear tell that it should not have launched without a couple more months or weeks, hell blizzard of all people should be able to afford better servers

  • illbedanged illbedanged (@illbedanged) reported

    @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2 #Overwatch i don't' enjoy a lot of things but i enjoy playing this game. Since day onee this game has been broken. i suffered through hour plus waits the first 4 or so days. over the weekend things seemed like they where getting normal. today i log on

  • SmittyGuyYeah Smitty🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 (@SmittyGuyYeah) reported

    I love Overwatch 2 it locked my heroes AGAIN. The fact that the game launched with the servers that it did along with the predatory monetization and issues from a glorified update is embarassing. The game is so fun but everything around it is awful

  • GreasyStyle95 Jacob Schlehuber (@GreasyStyle95) reported

    @BlizzardCS I want my ******* heros on overwatch 2 back. I went to hospital at three , I hoped off with every hero except Kiriko and I came back to most heros being locked. Fix your game. FFs

  • Flashkid_FFI Grant Sanders (@Flashkid_FFI) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fix locked heroes for Overwatch 1 players. Jesus, it doesn't make the game worth playing if you can't select the hero you want to play

  • SersLa LaYSers (@SersLa) reported

  • shewzzz shewz👟 (@shewzzz) reported

    Overwatch 2 still won’t let me play quick play without disconnects. Half the cast is locked for some reason and I can’t even sit in the main menu lobby before a disconnect. Another week and I’m gonna stop trying

    @Blizzard_Ent I bought 2 of your 10 dollar overwatch currency yet I haven’t gotten them, If I can get help with this situation can you guys privately dm so we can discuss this problem.

  • bipabrena GG-3883 (@bipabrena) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hi, I logged in after the maintenance was finished for Overwatch 2 and now I'm locked out of over half the roster. Didn't have this issue even on launch day. Could this be fixed soon?

  • 0bsoleet1337 0bsoleet (@0bsoleet1337) reported

    I logged into Overwatch 2 and it's claiming I have zero of the original Overwatch characters unlocked, the ones I quite literally played only a few days ago. I'm very much not enjoying this fact, so I'll use a time honored phrase on the forums since WoW. Fix your **** Blizzard!

  • Fwee_Wifi Someone Not Cool (@Fwee_Wifi) reported

  • KitsuneMoonFox ꧁~𝓦hiτeఌF๏x~꧂ 狐 (@KitsuneMoonFox) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I'm done with Overwatch 2. Your last maintenance locked all my chars and many cosmetics. I've played Overwatch 1 and already had my acc linked to Battlenet and i can't even play with my fav chars because your bug. I play on PS4 and even reseting game don't fix it

  • laypiper piper74929947 ᨐ∫ (@laypiper) reported

    every single day in overwatch 2, is there a period where almost all the heroes are locked because the servers think ur f2p. why dont they just ******* remove the locking of heroes so its not an issue

  • eddy_owl Eddy📚 Comms Open!! (@eddy_owl) reported

    @DorataVT It’s a common glitch that’s been popping up, o think the only thing blizzard has said is “open and close Overwatch til it works” sadly Yet another thing they need to fix

  • MatthewCoon20 Ab3stbuy (@MatthewCoon20) reported

    Yo is Overwatches rank system broken?

  • Mr177013 KeSSo (@Mr177013) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Come on, do me a ******* favor and fix the heroes being locked before trying to scam OG Overwatch owners with the dumb monetization and battle passes.
